Who would win this, the mother of all celebrity deathmatches: Larry, Darryl and Darryl (from Newhart) vs. Lenny and Squiggy (from Laverne and Shirley) with an assist by John Bowser Bowman (from Sha Na Na)?

Going with Lenny, Squiggy and Bowser. Bowser gives them the edge!

Man I had way too much time on my hands today…

Definitely Larry and the Darryls. They trap animals, know their way around tools and knives, look fairly burly. Lenny & Squiggy are just losers without an ounce of muscle between them. Bowser can’t take up all the slack.

I agree. Lenny, Squiggy, and Bowser are all talk. Larry, Darryl, and Darryl aren’t much talk at all. You can tell that they’ve seen things, man. _Crazy things._
